Welcome message from Dean of Students
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the University of Limpopo Student Affairs webpage. Thank you for affording our university the opportunity to contribute to your personal, social and career development through our array of academic and support programmes that are on offer on our Turfloop and Medunsa Campuses. We recognize the fact that it may be your first experience of university life hence we advise you to give your studies first priority.
By participating in the myriad activities and programmes organised under the auspices of departments within Student Affairs, you will no doubt find your university experience rewarding and enriching. These activities enhance your life at university and also give you the rare opportunity of interacting with friends and peers even outside the academic environment. In this way, you will be better prepared for the life challenges.
Make sure that you are conversant with the many academic and non-academic policies, rules, codes and regulations that govern your stay on campus. Don’t wait until you probably find yourself on the wrong side of the rules at the institution. Start very early to know how student behaviour is being regulated so that you can enjoy your freedom. Should you go through a rough patch in life, don’t hesitate to walk into any of the offices within Student Affairs for appropriate help and /or intervention.

Thank you for affording our university the opportunity to contribute to your personal, social and career development through our array of academic and support programmes that are on offer on our Turfloop Campus.
The University of Limpopo (UL), which established with a college status in 1959, has grown to become one of Africa’s most innovative universities, offering highly competitive and industry-relevant qualifications. Our Programme Qualification Mix (PQM) responds to the developmental needs of communities and epitomises academic excellence and innovativeness.
Popularly known as Turfloop, UL was the first institution in South Africa to establish a medical school since the advent of democracy, and it eventually produced the country’s youngest medical doctor. The Institution also launched a cathode materials centre, South Africa’s first pilot plant in manganese beneficiation, an R30 million investment to tap into manganese ore reserves and energy storage. South Africa has 80% of the world’s high-grade manganese ore reserves; this resource has enormous potential for mineral beneficiation in the country. This responds to the needs of the Fourth Industrial Resolution (4IR) and the Internet of Things (IoT). These are just a subset of a myriad of programmes and centres that respond actively to the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
If you seek a dynamic educational journey that combines academic rigour with a sense of community and cultural richness, the University of Limpopo is the ideal destination for your academic pursuits.
Through their achievements in academia, business, healthcare, arts, and more, our alumni exemplify UL’s commitment to producing forward-thinking individuals. The strong sense of community among our alumni fosters a supportive ecosystem for current students.
The University of Limpopo boasts four distinguished faculties—Health Sciences, Humanities, Science and Agriculture, and Management and Law—each offering a specialized and comprehensive education.
